Upcoming EVENTS

Dec. 21, 2012

An exhibition about us! The WAG Century investigates the Gallery’s history beginning with an architectural overview of the three buildings that have housed the WAG since 1912, and paying tribute to key individuals who have shaped the WAG.

Hours: Tuesday through Sunday 11:00am to 5:00pm; until 9:00pm on Friday

Winnipeg is the hottest art-making city in Canada and if you didn’t know it before, you will now. Whether the 13 artists selected for this exciting exhibition are living here or away, they have all called Winnipeg home and represent the artistic pulse of the city in 2012.

Hours: Tuesday through Sunday 11:00am to 5:00pm; until 9:00pm on Friday.

A recent donation of Inuit sculpture, the largest gift of Inuit art since the Harry Winrob Collection, fills important gaps in the WAG’s collection. The Stafford Collection consists of 121 sculptures mainly from the 1980s to the 2000s. Assembled over the past two decades, it includes works by such established artists as Osuitok Ipeelee, Davidee Atchealak, Aqjangajuk Shaa, Kiugak Ashoona, Luke Anowtalik, Nuna Parr, Lukta Qiatsuk, and Abraham Anghik Ruben.

Explore a Winnipeg holiday tradition for all generations!
The Children’s Museum is pleased to be the home of the last original Eaton’s Fairytale Vignette Display from the ninth floor annex of the Eaton’s downtown store – fully restored and open to the public for a limited time only.

Since the first train rides in 1996, The Assiniboine Valley Railway has given rides to over 130 000 passengers through the Taylor family’s Christmas light display. The display grows every year and now has over 98 000 lights.

From all over the world they come. Thousands enter but few are chosen. We’re talking about the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the best commercials from across the globe. Coming from almost every continent and spanning a multitude of cultures, these ads are a fascinating mini-window on the world.

Join our annual salute to Christmas lighting from the 1880s to today.
Walk through the gallery to see holiday lighting styles and décor trends from the past to the present. Revisit holiday memories of the past and re-discover new ones for the future.

Social, political, and libidinal experiences consort and co-mingle in My Winnipeg: Winter Kept Us Warm. The exhibition includes a curated section by Noam Gonick—a contained installation referencing the back-door entrances of video, sex-stores, and 19th century drawing rooms. The exploration of Winnipeg’s fevered underworld continues in the ﬁlm Cowards Bend the Knee by Guy Maddin. Presented for the ﬁrst time in an updated version of the nickelodeon peepshow, it re-frames the ﬁlm’s salacious, chaotic, and of course, hockey-related plot line.

Nutcracker returns this season to delight audiences young and old. This sparkling Christmas tradition is a festive feast for the senses with enchanting costumes, timeless choreography and a brilliant score by Tchaikovsky.

Prairie Theatre Exchange continues a Holiday season tradition of bringing the indelible and charismatic characters of Robert Munsch to vibrant life on the stage. This year, get ready for some psychedelic fun, with lots of high-octane energy and loads of laughs.
